Missing Easy Targets

I don't particularly want to get into the habit of defending Nancy Pelosi. Specifically speaking, I find the woman to be far more partisan than she is intelligent and, yes, I'm telling you also, I'm not quite sure that I trust her, either. But, yes, she, just like anybody else, doesn't deserve to be lied about. Sean Hannity, in one of his typical rants against the left, accused Ms. Pelosi of saying that those who protest against the Democratic health-care proposal are "anti-American". She said nothing of the sort. She said that shouting people down at town meetings is anti-American. Kind of a big difference, no?...............................................................................This, of course, isn't to say that the use of the term, anti-American, was prudent/a good choice. Clearly, anti-American is a highly loaded term that she probably should have avoided. But, still, if Mr. Hannity hopes to jump in and score some political points here, then, yes, he really ought to take the time to get his facts straight, too. I mean, he is sort of a journalist, right?
